Sisters

Looking back again this is my younger sister & I taken in 2012 at the Paraplegic Games.
We are sitting watching I think if I remember correctly wheelchair badminton.
I am the eldest & she is the youngest, two brothers in between & it was her birthday yesterday.
My niece is very involved with the Games movement & is employed by the Olympic Committee & we got tickets for some events.
We had a fun time, seems a long time ago now & I don’t see as much if her as I would like as she lives in Norfolk.
I know I should have made this black & white but I am not a fan of that medium so left the colour in. I like b/W in others photos but once I have seen a colour version I can’t change it!

Three good things:
1. I have been for my covid swab this morning & now I am isolating for three days before my eye cyst removal procedure on Wednesday. Interestingly I note in this photo you can just see the beginnings of it appearing all those years ago...time it went & it’s got much bigger this last six months!
2. I saw the first daffodils under a hedge this morning!
3. I’m working my way through some small bottles of different flavours of gin I got for Christmas....plum & vanilla this week! It’s different & I like it.
Awww love this. You can’t deny you are sisters! I desperately need to go see my sister in Lubbock. I hope to go this spring.

I thought recognised you! What a lovely photo. I'm with you on the colour versus b&w images, but doing the February challenge has really make me look differently at what makes a good b&w subject.

@carolmw @lucycameron

We do look a bit alike but are alike in what we like too may it be clothes, cards....we will often send the same card to relative...

@beryl Yes we must do better...Norfolk is not the best place to get to from Lancashire....we all four of us need to meet halfway....two of us live five miles or so apart here, our second brother moves up to a village near Carlisle on Tuesday & Margaret in Norfolk. We are in touch loads via What’s App...a wonderful invention!

@pdulis @denful

Thank you!

How fun! You can certainly see the family resemblance. The London Olympics was a wonderful event to watch. Great venues, and well done opening/closing ceremonies. All the best with your eye procedure, Pat! Sending good thoughts for a perfect outcome and quick recovery!

Beautiful

@peggysirk Thank you Peggy.... I might not be able to see so well for a day or so! Will look a load better though hopefully! I am self conscious now!

A great photo Pat
February 21st, 2021  
I see the family resemblance. Hope all goes well on Wednesday.

Happy Birthday to Margaret. What a lovely photo of you both.
Hope all goes well on Wednesday.

Lovely to have sisters and brothers!! And fun looking back.
I'm seeing this on B&W as my phone is set to change at 9.00pm to encourage me to get to bed.
I had to do a self test tonight too for going back to school tomorrow. 😊 Thankfully negative!
Hope all goes gently on Wed. 💛

Sisters are such a wonderful blessing. My sister lives in Atlanta, a two to three day drive from me. We talk almost every day, and almost every day we pine for the day we can get together again. We have to do it when we can!
February 21st, 2021  
It is good to see more family of the person we know so well through photographs! My one remaining sister doesn't believe in the internet except for emails so I hardly ever see her. I can't mention the word facebook either!
February 22nd, 2021  
Nice similarities.
February 22nd, 2021  
You look like fun sisters! I have a fun sister who I haven't seen in a year and miss her dearly!
February 22nd, 2021  
Fav. Such a gorgeous portrait shot of you both! I'm with you re colour vs b&w photos.
February 22nd, 2021  
This is a lovely photo and brings back nice memories when you spent time together. I do hope all goes well when you have your op.
February 22nd, 2021  
Awwww, lovely pic of the two of you- great memory to have!
February 22nd, 2021  
A lovely photo of you both.
February 22nd, 2021  
I have that scarf! Still love & wear it. It's a great shot and you haven't changed at all. Hope the isolating is bearable - bet the gin helps!
February 22nd, 2021  
@filsie65 I wore it to be patriotic...can’t think where it is now though....only isolating for three days but it’s enough while in this tiny bungalow....I’m ready for exercise! All be over later today.
